The gallery is pleased to announce we will be hosting a special exhibition for gallery artist, Renate Aller in booth #1012 (For a map click here). A curated selection from her series Mountain Interval, and Oceanscapes will be on view. There will also be a book signing event at ArtbookDAP booth # on Saturday, April 6th at 4 pm. Copies of her lastest book, Mountain Interval, will be available for purchase.
About the exhibition:
“Parallel realities from different locations open up conversations between the different (political) landscapes in which we live”
“Mountain Interval”, the latest project from New York–based German photographer Renate Aller, depicts mountain ranges from six continents including European glaciers and mountain peaks of her childhood vacations. It is accompanied by a Monograph published by Radius Books. Aller's work is currently the subject of a solo exhibition at the Parrish Art Museum, curated by Museum director Terrie Sultan who wrote the essay for the book.
As in her previous projects, Oceanscapes, 1999 - Present and Ocean | Desert, Renate Aller’s dynamic compositions are rich with implied narratives. The photographs are a continued exploration of the interrelationship between romanticism, memory, and place. In Mountain Interval Aller has captured the most celebrated and challenging mountain ranges across six continents, photographing while standing at elevations as high as 22,500 feet.
Aller isolates the mountain from its expected surroundings, presents them next to oceanscapes, reading as one landscape. She presents the familiar and the known in an intimate way, relating to parallel realities from different locations, opening up conversations between the different (political) landscapes in which we live.
In the artist's own words: “This interval, the space in between, is about the moments during which apparently nothing happens, but without which no change could happen. This state of stillness and transition is a space between memory and expectation" - Renate Aller - www.renatealler.com
